Loving this new feature, must less likely to accidentally reveal things to players.
However, it doesn't seem to apply to terrain occluders that block movement as I can still drag tokens into/past those.

Terrain normally never blocks movement :) Or did you mean a different LoS type?

The terrain is intended to limit sight (can see into this area but not beyond it), but not movement. You can of course "open" the Terrain making it able to see past it as well.

An example of use would be a pile of rubble, you can move onto the pile but not see past it until you are on top.

Terrain can be seen into and out of, but not through. It does not affect movement.

I’ve noticed this too. In v4.1 a GM cannot drag players across walls anymore. It seems be applying movement restrictions to a GM like players.

GMs can override the movement restrictions with a key. I think Alt, but might be shift or ctrl.

Also, it doesn't update LOS 'on the way there'. So, if you're teleporting the player across the map and don't want to reveal what is in between, it's very useful.

Perfect. Love that it will not update LOS. As the amount of times I have given a glimpse inadvertently to players is embarrassing
